The correct Answer is:
To solve the given pair of linear equations using the method of elimination by substitution, we will follow these steps: **Given Equations:** 1. \(\frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{15} = 4\) 2. \(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{y}{12} = 4 \cdot \frac{3}{4}\) ### Step 1: Convert the equations to a simpler form First, we will eliminate the fractions by multiplying through by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. **For the first equation:** The LCM of 6 and 15 is 30. Multiply the entire equation by 30: \[ 30 \left(\frac{x}{6}\right) + 30 \left(\frac{y}{15}\right) = 30 \cdot 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x + 2y = 120 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] **For the second equation:** The LCM of 3 and 12 is 12. Multiply the entire equation by 12: \[ 12 \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) - 12 \left(\frac{y}{12}\right) = 12 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{3}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x - y = 36 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 2: Express one variable in terms of the other From Equation 2, we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): \[ y = 4x - 36 \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the first equation Now, we will substitute \(y\) in Equation 1: \[ 5x + 2(4x - 36) = 120 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 5x + 8x - 72 = 120 \] Combine like terms: \[ 13x - 72 = 120 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) Add 72 to both sides: \[ 13x = 192 \] Now, divide by 13: \[ x = \frac{192}{13} \approx 14.77 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(x\) back to find \(y\) Now substitute \(x\) back into the equation for \(y\): \[ y = 4\left(\frac{192}{13}\right) - 36 \] Calculating this gives: \[ y = \frac{768}{13} - 36 \] Convert 36 to a fraction with a denominator of 13: \[ y = \frac{768}{13} - \frac{468}{13} = \frac{300}{13} \approx 23.08 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ x = \frac{192}{13}, \quad y = \frac{300}{13} \] ---
